As there is 5 more girls than boys and b is the number of boys, the expression b + 5 represents the number of girls. 
total there are 27 childrens
b + (b+5) = 27
b + b + 5 = 27
2b = 27 -5 
b =22 / 2
b =11
so the number of boys there are 11 and girls are 11 + 5 = 16 
and total is 16 + 11 = 27

Lets say you have 5 apples, but the you give away 3 of them.
To work how many you have left you take away.
5-3 = 2

Lets apply this with fractions now.
You have 9/7 yard, but then you give away 7/20 yard.
Now you take them away:
9/7 minus 7/20 = 131/140

Hope this helps :)

if you could generate energy by fusing the hydrogen in solution a, how much of the solution would you need to generate the elect
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

We know that:

Energy released by fusion of hydrogen in 1 liter of solution A = 7.6x10^10 J

Energy used daily in a certain family home = 3x10^4 J

(you did not write the units, so i suppose that are the same in both cases)

Then, if x is the number of liters of solution A used, the energy produced will be:

E(x) = x*7.6x10^10 J

And we want this equal to 3x10^4

then:

E(x) = x*7.6x10^10 J = 3x10^4 j

now we solve this for x.

x = (3x10^4 j)/(7.6x10^10 j) = 3.9x10^-7

Then you need to use 3.9x10^-7 L of solution a.
